Communication from the Secretary. 73 



Ciub is destined to be one of the greatest clubs of its 

 kind, for where else, in the civilized world at least, has 

 a club such magnificent opportunities as are presented at 

 our very door for the enjoyment and study of the moun- 

 tains, with the majestic range of the Sierra stretching 

 from one end of the state to the other, clothed with match- 

 less forests, abounding in marvelous scener}-, and crowned 

 with the eternal snows? 



Very respectfully, 



Wm. E. Colby, 

 Secretary of the Sierra Club.
